The relationship between polycythemia vera (PV) and
primary hyperparathyroidism
is not well understood. Remission or improvement of PV following parathyroidectomy in the setting of
primary hyperparathyroidism
has previously been described; however, long-term outcomes are not well characterized. We describe a patient with
JAK2
mutation negative PV and
primary hyperparathyroidism
, with a dramatic, but ultimately transient, improvement in hemoglobin following resection of a parathyroid adenoma. While screening for hyperparathyroidism may be useful in the setting of PV, indications for parathyroidectomy should be driven by symptomatology or established criteria, not the desire to affect the clinical course of PV.
